This is well padded, fits over the eye properly, and gives the ultimate of lift and curl to lashes. As with all curlers, be careful not to catch your skin. This is an excellent accessory at a ridiculously great price.

One of my absolute favorite curlers is this one right here. I own about four of these and the reason for it is I love them so much! It produces beautiful nice curls of which then I would apply my favorite mascara afterwards and would then be set for the day. You do have to be careful not to clamp too close to your skin and work your way out clamping a bit at a time. But the results are phenomenon and definitely worth it!

This is definitely a hit or a miss product. I think the curve of the metal part that clamps down is way too "curvy" therefore, it can't possibly come close to my lashes. Wanted to like this product because of the hype but it was such a let down...

I've been using the elf Essential Mechanical Eyelash Curler for quite some time now, and although I was ready to review it upon first trying it, I waited several months because I wanted to see if my experience changed as I got used to the product. I say that because I don't have much experience with eye lash curlers, I am somewhat a beginner, and in fact this has been the 2nd eye lash curler I ha...read moreve ever used, the 1st was a Revlon curler (I believe) it was over 10 years ago!
The elf Essential Mechanical Eyelash Curler feels like very sturdy material, and what I like about it is that the little pad has been able to last and look perfectly the same even after using it for several months (without having to replace it). My lashes or eyelid skin never once got pinched or tugged on, I believe it is because the top lid is not sharp, it's dull which is perfect for easy application. I also love the grip handle that it comes with, my fingers never once slipped or budged as I was curling my lashes.
As awesome as those PROS above were, I have to tell you I will not be repurchasing this curler simply because it did nothing to my lashes, it just didn't curl any of my lashes, which was very disappointing. Granted I do love elf Cosmetics and this curler was only $1.00 but there's no point in using a curler that doesn't curl.— 4 years, 10 months ago

I have had this eyelash curler for over a year and it is the best. Great design! It works very, very well, is comfortable/easy to use, and so far has lasted without any problems at all. Shhh...don't tell ELF, but I would pay way more than $1 for this!

Why go for high end curlers, when wonders such as this works just as great? For my straight lashes, curls that stay have only been a dream, but not anymore! The design of the grips have changed since the picture was taken, yet it functions just the same, and still, as everyone knows by now, still one dollar!

and still 1$. order a bunch and give them to all your bff's.
works like a charm and you can heat it up for a few sec's with your hairdryer for a heated curl that lasts forever [it was days on me]. like rhowan said, be careful with the pinchability, dont pull your lashes, and when its hot, dont burn your eyelids, a little heat, and gentle pressure gets the job done! its still 1$!!!!
